Hello everyone!

As promised, today I have released the first public demo for Blood of the Living, sequel to Fields of Asphodel.

You can play here.

The demo contains the character creator from FoA, plus a basic 'save creation' system, so that at least some of the flavor text in BotL will reflect your FoA playthrough of choice.

Keep in mind, of course, that only playthroughs that resulted in the Underworld Ending (those where the PC chose to spend half time or more in the Underworld), will be carried into the sequel. The Olympus Ending is a complete story as-is, and the sequel will not continue from it.

Chapters One and Two of the game are both included in the demo, to a total of approximately 120,000 words.

Features:

Tone indicators are making a comeback. You'll have to turn them on from the stats screen, as they are off by default.

A new feature that allows you to more permanently set touch preferences is also available from the stats screen. By default, the game will still periodically inquire whether your inclinations or aversions regarding physical touch have changed, but if you'd rather just set this and forget it, the new option may be for you.

NPC initiative also returns, and is on by default. More information on all these settings can be found in the stats screen, if you're not sure what I'm talking about.

Please consider helping if you can. We are in a tough spot with our orange kitty. I have set up a GoFundMe to try and help cover the medical bills he has already acquired. Most likely, he is going to need to go back in and I am tapped financially. Anything can help.

Whatever devils inside you, don't let him out tonight

Tonight's brainrot: Mr. Suarez as Spiderman :> told myself i'll just sketch it out and leave it at that but the need was strong and here we are with a sketch-colored piece LMFAO.

When you call Cove or Liz and tell them the shocking news about meeting Baxter once again, they both are a little slow to catch on. Cove had to think a minute to figure out how he knew that name, and Liz straight out was like who’s that?, before you remind her.

Not to say that once Liz and Cove are reminded of who exactly Baxter is that they are not appropriately concerned for you. What with Liz calling Baxter “That Loser”, and all that.
